This morning I learned about sublimation. For those of you whom aren't familiar with sublimation, sublimation is the process of the transition a substance from the solid state to the gas state, without becoming a liquid in the process.
Take water for instance. If heated, it turns into a gas. If cooled, water turns into a solid (ice). If ice is heated, it turns back into a liquid, and if heated some more, back into a gas. Imagine ice changing right into a gas. Skipping the liquid state altogether. That's sublimation. It's fascinating.
